3. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) "Isa" Vega, flamenco dancer:
"Some tourists know nothing about flamenco and they look so surprised! But some know a lot about it, like the Japanese. Sometimes they know more about flamenco than we do. They come to watch and listen to every little detail of what we do on stage. To sum it up, every tourist has a different approach to flamenco."
4. Pan up of flamenco dancer on stage
5. Tourists watching flamenco show
6. SOUNDBITE; (French) Bob Morriset, tourist:
"I was so astounded by the expression of the dancer! The sorrow she showed on her face. You can really tell she was feeling the sadness and the pain she expressed on stage."
7. Zoom in to close up of sign displaying "Museo del Flamenco"
8. Various set up shots of Miguel Verde, MuseumDirector, coming out of a typical gipsy cave at the museum complex and arranging the displays
9. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Miguel Verde, museum director:
"Local people have a greater understanding of what goes on during a flamenco dance and of course they celebrate it more. The foreign tourist usually stays quiet and looks more expectant. But at the end of the show both local and foreign join the party and one can feel a spirit of celebration that binds them all together."

13. Set up of Mariquilla, flamenco dancer - pictures and posters of her as a dancer
14. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Mariquilla, flamenco dancer:
"In flamenco you cannot apply the same marketing strategies that other art disciplines use. It is very similar to jazz, because both are very unique art disciplines when it comes to singing or expressing feelings. There is also a great freedom when it comes to flamenco and that is something that can be felt both by a local or a foreign person."
10. Various shots of Juan Pinilla, flamenco singer, on stage
11. Set up shot of Juan Pinilla with his guitarist
12. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Juan Pinilla, flamenco singer:
"Today with globalisation we have great flamenco shows all over the world. In the US, Japan, England and all over Europe. This results in foreign people being used to watch and listen to flamenco, hence becoming a very experienced audience. They know when one is selling them a good quality show or a bad one."
13. Various shots of flamenco performers at a show
14. Cutaway to public applauding
15. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Carla Tedeschi, tourist:
"The first time I saw flamenco the show was all about colourful costumes and little details. But this show is more typical, more intimate. And it has the fresh approach of the "home made" flamenco."
16. Mid shot of flamenco show

LEAD IN:
Flamenco is the musical and dance genre that has made Andalucia famous all over the world.
And it is the way the people of the region represent their folklore and their legends.
Local enthusiasts and tourists flock to flamenco bars at night to experience the true nature of southern Spain.
STORYLINE:
The culture of Andalucia is what the rest of the world considers as the culture of Spain.
Bullfighting, guitar playing gypsies and flamenco dancing..... the iconic traditions of the region have become icons of Spain itself.
But it is in the Southern cities of Granada and Seville where the most authentic flamenco traditions can be found.
The quick rhythmic stamping of feet and clapping of hands typifies the flamenco dance.

There are few more Spanish sounds than the "click" of a pair of castanets. Their rhythm is the bedrock of flamenco. Few know the complexity and craftsmanship involved with castanets better than JuanVela. He started in the business at the age of seven and is the fourth generation of his family to practise the trade. Now, with more than 50 years experience, Juan is almost unique in making castanets in the traditional way.

Civil War (band)

Civil War is a power metal band from Falun, Sweden formed in 2012 by several former members of Sabaton. The band adopted the same lyrical themes of war and historical battles that were characteristic of Sabaton.

History

In April 2012, guitarists Oskar Montelius and Rikard Sundén, drummer Daniel Mullback and keyboardist Daniel Mÿhr left the band Sabaton, of which they had been the founding members. They soon teamed up with Astral Doors vocalist Nils Patrik Johansson to form a new band. Bassist Stefan 'Pizza' Eriksson was recruited to complete the Civil War lineup.

Initially signed to Despotz Records, the band released a self-titled EP in October 2012, and then immediately began working on their full length debut album. The Killer Angels was released in June 2013, and reached the Gold status in Sweden only two months later. At the same time, the band began playing live shows at various festivals in Sweden, and went on their first tour of Europe in February 2014. Guitarist Petrus Granar was added to the lineup as a seventh full-time member.

Recording and delayed release

Dillinger Four had announced as early as June 2006 that Civil War would be released on October 31 of that year. However that August they amended the expected release date to March 2007. In November 2006 drummer Lane Pederson stated that the band were "working at D4 speed on a new record. About half of the songs are written." A month later bassist Patrick Costello announced in an interview that the album would be released in the Spring of 2007, stating that it was being pushed back so that the band would be better prepared to tour in support of it:

Spanish Civil War

The Spanish Civil War (Spanish:Guerra Civil Española), widely known in Spain simply as The Civil War (Spanish:Guerra Civil) or The War (Spanish:La Guerra), took place from 1936 to 1939 and was fought between the Republicans, who were loyal to the democratic, left-leaning Second Spanish Republic, and the Nationalists, a falangist group led by General Francisco Franco. The Nationalists won, and Franco then ruled Spain for the next 36 years, from April 1939 until his death in November 1975.

Spice Girls

The Spice Girls are an English pop girl group formed in 1994. The group consists of Melanie Brown ("Scary Spice"), Melanie Chisholm ("Sporty Spice"), Emma Bunton ("Baby Spice"), Geri Halliwell ("Ginger Spice"), and Victoria Beckham, née Adams ("Posh Spice"). They were signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single "Wannabe" in 1996, which hit number one in 37 countries and established them as a global phenomenon. Their debut album Spice sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album by a female group in history. Their follow up album Spiceworld sold over 20 million copies worldwide. The Spice Girls have sold over 80 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling female group of all time, one of the best-selling pop groups of all time, and the biggest British pop phenomenon since Beatlemania.

Measures of their success include international record sales, a 2007–2008 reunion tour, merchandising, record-breaking achievements, iconic symbolism such as Halliwell's Union Jack dress representing "girl power", and a film, Spice World. The group became one of the most successful marketing engines ever, earning up to $75 million per year, with their global grosses estimated at $500–800 million between 1996 and 1998. Under the guidance of their mentor and manager Simon Fuller, the Spice Girls embraced merchandising and became a regular feature of the British and global press. In 1996, Top of the Popsmagazine gave each member of the group aliases, which were adopted by the group and media. According to Rolling Stone journalist and biographer David Sinclair, "Scary, Baby, Ginger, Posh and Sporty were the most widely recognised group of individuals since John, Paul, George, and Ringo". With the "girl power" phenomenon, the Spice Girls were popular cultural icons of the 1990s. They are cited as part of the 'second wave' 1990s British Invasion of the US.

There are few more Spanish sounds than the "click" of a pair of castanets. Their rhythm is the bedrock of flamenco. Few know the complexity and craftsmanship involved with castanets better than JuanVela. He started in the business at the age of seven and is the fourth generation of his family to practise the trade. Now, with more than 50 years experience, Juan is almost unique in making castanets in the traditional way.

Flamenco dancers dazzle in Andulcia

Granada - 2-4 October, 2007
1. Pan down of exterior of "Albaycin" flamenco show
2. Various of flamenco dancers on stage
3. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) "Isa" Vega, flamenco dancer:
"Some tourists know nothing about flamenco and they look so surprised! But some know a lot about it, like the Japanese. Sometimes they know more about flamenco than we do. They come to watch and listen to every little detail of what we do on stage. To sum it up, every tourist has a different approach to flamenco."
4. Pan up of flamenco dancer on stage
5. Tourists watching flamenco show
6. SOUNDBITE; (French) Bob Morriset, tourist:
"I was so astounded by the expression of the dancer! The sorrow she showed on her face. You can really tell she was feeling the sadness and the pain she expressed on stage."
7. Zoom in to close up of sign displaying "Museo del Flamenco"
8. Various set up shots of Miguel Verde, MuseumDirector, coming out of a typical gipsy cave at the museum complex and arranging the displays
9. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Miguel Verde, museum director:
"Local people have a greater understanding of what goes on during a flamenco dance and of course they celebrate it more. The foreign tourist usually stays quiet and looks more expectant. But at the end of the show both local and foreign join the party and one can feel a spirit of celebration that binds them all together."
12. Close of sign displaying "Mariquilla" flamenco academy
13. Set up of Mariquilla, flamenco dancer - pictures and posters of her as a dancer
14. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Mariquilla, flamenco dancer:
"In flamenco you cannot apply the same marketing strategies that other art disciplines use. It is very similar to jazz, because both are very unique art disciplines when it comes to singing or expressing feelings. There is also a great freedom when it comes to flamenco and that is something that can be felt both by a local or a foreign person."
10. Various shots of Juan Pinilla, flamenco singer, on stage
11. Set up shot of Juan Pinilla with his guitarist
12. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Juan Pinilla, flamenco singer:
"Today with globalisation we have great flamenco shows all over the world. In the US, Japan, England and all over Europe. This results in foreign people being used to watch and listen to flamenco, hence becoming a very experienced audience. They know when one is selling them a good quality show or a bad one."
13. Various shots of flamenco performers at a show
14. Cutaway to public applauding
15. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Carla Tedeschi, tourist:
"The first time I saw flamenco the show was all about colourful costumes and little details. But this show is more typical, more intimate. And it has the fresh approach of the "home made" flamenco."
16. Mid shot of flamenco show
17. Various of "Albaycin" district (of Granada - a city in Spain)
18. Pan across the Alhambra (a palace in Granada)
LEAD IN:
Flamenco is the musical and dance genre that has made Andalucia famous all over the world.
And it is the way the people of the region represent their folklore and their legends.
Local enthusiasts and tourists flock to flamenco bars at night to experience the true nature of southern Spain.
STORYLINE:
The culture of Andalucia is what the rest of the world considers as the culture of Spain.
Bullfighting, guitar playing gypsies and flamenco dancing..... the iconic traditions of the region have become icons of Spain itself.
But it is in the Southern cities of Granada and Seville where the most authentic flamenco traditions can be found.
The quick rhythmic stamping of feet and clapping of hands typifies the flamenco dance.
Isa Vega a flamenco dancer in Granada says flamenco has different effects on different people.

Flamenco: Last of the castanet makers? BBC News

Subscribe to BBCNews www.youtube.com/bbcnews
There are few more Spanish sounds than the "click" of a pair of castanets. Their rhythm is the bedrock of flamenco. Few know the complexity and craftsmanship involved with castanets better than JuanVela. He started in the business at the age of seven and is the fourth generation of his family to practise the trade. Now, with more than 50 years experience, Juan is almost unique in making castanets in the traditional way. BBC News visited Juan at his studio in Seville to find out more about the art behind this captivating sound.
